🚨STAKEHOLDERS MUST BE VIGILANT @silasgrant @homeloansbyroberto @nattymarc @aimba_life @ziggakai @gee_lo_magnetic_ @okorocha_law @derrickgracetwo @gnettpge @jblack323 @trayonwhite @fishergroup @mrtonylewisjr The gap in homeownership rates between white Americans and racial and ethnic minorities has persisted for years with the largest gap among black families. All demographic groups have seen their rates decline from the 2004 peak, but again decline since has been most dramatic for black Americans. Their rate has dropped 5 percent compared to 1 percent for white families and an increase among Hispanics. The rate for Millennial generation blacks is 13 percent today compared to 37 percent for white Millennials. Alana McCargo, writing in the Urban Institute's (UI's) Urban Wire Blog, says black homeownership rates are now at levels not seen since the 1960s when private raced-based discrimination was legal. She says this sustained gap has been studied, quantified and discussed thoroughly in recent years. It is a cause of concern on many fronts, but especially because of the enormous role it plays in suppressing intergenerational wealth building and economic mobility.Late last year UI, with financial assistance from the National Associations of Realtors and Real Estate Brokers, convened a meeting with stakeholders to discuss areas where policies on the national and state level might address the issue. McCargo presents the five strategic priorities that emerged from the discussion. #homeownership#communityreinvestment#dmv#nyc#atl#inglewood
